Why is it some kind of problem for the lady to come to work in a headscarf? I say let her wear whatever she wants on her head. It is only a piece of fabric, no more, no less.

We as a society are way too uptight. Need to learn to let one's hair down (yeah, I see the irony in this sentence )
Because cons in this country are insane. Literally, insane. You only have to read the comments to see how true that really is. Off their rockers over a scarf. And these people vote.

These woman should move to Iran or Saudi Arabia where they get stoned for refusing arranged marriage.

Yes, strict adherence to some interpretations of Sharia are very restrictive to women, reducing them to nothing more than property, essentially.


What does any of that have to do with THIS woman?


Can you not see how sentiments like "you never know when she'll show up with a bomb" would make Muslims hesitant, at the very least, to advertise their faith during the interview process?

Funny or sad. Maybe both?
